Sillage's small dish, "sustainable paste"
At Shirokane Takanawa's modern bistronomy restaurant, Sillage, chef Munesada carefully uses seasonal vegetables delivered from his hometown of Okayama, regardless of their shape.
Some of the vegetables used in cooking may be slightly crooked or irregular in size, and are considered "non-standard" in the market. However, they still retain the same vitality and fragrance.
We don't let these vegetables go to waste, but instead use the power of fermentation to bring out new flavors and offer them as a sustainable paste.

This paste, served with homemade baguette, is a dish that symbolizes Sillage's commitment.
That's why, even at dinner, we deliberately list this paste along with baguette on the menu.
Gentle flavor and lingering aftertaste created by fermentation
The paste is made using a variety of seasonal vegetables.
In particular, the gentle sweetness of the carrots and the mellow acidity from fermentation combine to create a soft aroma that spreads from the first bite.

It's not a strong flavor, but rather subtly enhances the flavor of the baguette and the entire dish.
We value the natural harmony between fermentation and ingredients.
Expressing "sustainability" through cuisine
The word "sustainable" is now heard in many contexts.
At Sillage, we don't see this idea as a special theme, but rather as something that naturally builds up in our daily work.

Use up every last bit of material.
We value vegetables that show the hand of the producer.
And by using the power of fermentation to fully utilize the inherent power of the ingredients.
We believe that these small steps will result in a richer dish and a more fragrant finish.
Enjoy the "beginnings" of Sillage with a baguette
This paste is served after the amuse-bouche.
The aroma of freshly baked homemade campagne will immerse you in the world of Sillage.
We hope you can feel the Sillage essence in every small bite, from the aroma, temperature, and texture.
